In the unlikely event that your COLORado 2 Tour may require service, please contact CHAUVET Technical Support. Expected LED Lifespan LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular optimum conditions. For this reason, using all color LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan expectancy is vital, lower the operational temperature by improving fixture ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs life. -2- COLORado 2 Tour User Manual Rev. 02b

Setup 3. Setup AC Power The COLORado 2 has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the specifications in this guide, the product s user manual, or on the product s sticker. Always connect the COLORado 2 Tour to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire. To determine the power requirements for the COLORado 2 Tour see the label affixed to the side of the fixture. Alternatively, you may refer to the corresponding specifications chart in the Technical Information chapter of this manual. The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For more information, you may download the Sizing the Circuit Breakers document from the CHAUVET Web site. Never connect the COLORado 2 Tour to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch. AC Plug The COLORado 2 Tour comes with a power input cord terminated with a NEUTRIK powercon A connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (US market). If the power cord that came with your fixture has no plug or you need to change the Edison plug, use the table below to wire the new plug. Connection Wire (US) Wire (Europe) Screw Color AC Live Black Brown Yellow or Brass AC Neutral White Blue Silver AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green Power Linking The COLORado 2 Tour supports power linking for up to five other COLORado 2 Tour fixtures at 120 VAC. Each COLORado 2 Tour has Neutrik POWERCON sockets for Power In and Power Out. Although the fixture comes with a power input cord, it comes with no power linking cord. Fuse Replacement DMX Linking The COLORado 2 Tour fixture has no external fuse for the user to change. However, it does have an internal fuse that only an authorized CHAUVET technician should change. If you are using the COLORado 2 Tour with a DMX controller, you can link them using a regular DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with the COLORado 2 Tour, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller. It is also possible to run several DMX compatible fixtures synchronized without a DMX controller in a master/slave operating mode. If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX cables needed to link the COLORado 2 Tour fixture to a DMX controller, you may download the DMX Primer document from the CHAUVET Web site. The DMX Channel Summary section in this chapter contains a brief description of what COLORado 2 Tour features have a DMX channel assigned to them. The Operation chapter of this manual provides a detailed list of the COLORado 2 Tour DMX channel assignments. DMX Connection The COLORado 2 Tour uses the DMX data connection for its DMX modes, TOUR, ARC1, AR1 + D, ARC2, AR2 + D, AR2 + S and HSV. You will find information about these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief description), the Operation Instructions chapter (configuration details), and the DMX Values section (individual channel values). -6- COLORado 2 Tour User Manual Rev. 02b
Setup Master/Slave Linking The Master/Slave mode allows one COLORado 2 Tour (the master) running a preconfigured program to control several other COLORado 2 Tour fixtures (the slaves) without requiring a DMX controller. In this mode, all the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the master fixture. When in Master/Slave mode, the COLORado 2 Tour units link to each other by using the standard DMX connection. If you are not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, please refer to the DMX Primer and DMX Connectivity sections in the Appendix chapter of this manual. The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure the Master and Slave units. ID Addressing Lens Assembly / Replacement The COLORado 2 Tour uses the ID Addressing feature to increase the number of addressable fixtures in the same DMX universe when in the TOUR personality. Refer to the Operation chapter in this manual to learn in detail how to configure the COLORado 2 Tour fixtures when using ID Addressing. The COLORado 2 Tour comes with the 15 lens assembly pre-installed from the factory. However, there is an optional lens kit (CLENS3048) available as an accessory, which will alter the beam angle of the fixture to 30º. Follow the instructions below to change or replace the LED lens assembly. Disconnect the fixture from the AC power before opening it. The procedure below will give you direct access to the LEDs, which are very fragile. Use maximum care when handling the lenses over the LED assembly. A B C D 1) Remove the gel frame holder by removing the four thumbscrews (not shown). 2) Remove the front cover (A) by removing the eight Allen screws that hold it in place. 3) Remove the seal (B). Use caution, because the glass (C) is loose under this cover and it may fall. 4) Remove the glass cover to gain access to the lens assembly (D). 5) After removing the glass cover, remove the six Phillips #2 screws that hold the lens assembly in place. 6) Remove the existing lens assembly and replace it with the new lens assembly. 7) Reverse the process to complete the lens replacement. After replacing the lenses, make sure that the fixture is completely sealed (IP66 rating) before installing it outdoors. Otherwise, you will void the fixture s warranty.

TOUR Notes These notes intend to clarify the way the TOUR DMX personality works. Master Dimmer Channel 1 controls the intensity of the currently projected color. When the slider is at the highest position (255) the intensity of the output is at its maximum. Red, Green & Blue, & White Color Selection Channels 2, 3, 4, and 5 control the intensity ratio of each of the Red, Green, Blue, and White LEDs. When the slider is at the highest position (255) the intensity of each color is at its maximum. You can combine channels 2, 3, 4, and 5 to create over 1 billion colors. Color Macros Channel 6 selects the required Color Macro. Channel 6 has priority over channels 2, 3, 4, and 5 (disables faders). Channel 1 controls the intensity of the Color Macro. Strobe Channel 7 controls the strobe frequency (not the intensity) of channels 2~6. Strobe 1 is with RGB in-step. Strobe 2 is with RGB out-step. Strobe 3 is a pulse strobe (fast on/slow off). Strobe 4 is a pulse strobe (slow on/fast off). Channel 7 strobes channels 2, 3, 4, and 5 when not running macros, allowing the individual faders (R, G. B, and W) as well as channel 1 (D) to control the output intensity. Channel 7 strobes channel 6 when running macros, allowing channel 6 to select the macro and channel 1 to control the output intensity. ID Address Selection Channel 9 selects the target ID address. Each independent DMX address may have up to 66 independent ID addresses. An ID address of 0 will activate all ID address locations. Auto Channel 8 selects the preset Auto programs AT. 01~10 or the custom Auto programs PR. 01~10. When activating the custom Auto programs PR. 01~10, it is possible to control the Step Time and Fade Time parameters using channels 2 and 3 respectively. Channel 8 has priority over channels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Dimmer Speed Channel 10 is for selecting the dimmer mode and speed. When Dimmer is set to Off, RGBW and Master Dimmer are linear.

Technical Information 5. Technical Information General Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear. CHAUVET recommends cleaning the fixture s external optics with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below: Unplug the fixture from power. Wait until the fixture is cold. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external vents and reachable internal components. Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue. Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it. Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them. If the fixture has one or more cooling fans, refrain from spinning them using compressed air. -18- COLORado 2 Tour User Manual Rev. 02b

Technical Information Returns Procedure The user must send the merchandise prepaid, in the original box, and with its original packing and accessories. CHAUVET will not issue call tags. Call CHAUVET and request a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #) before shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number, and a brief description of the cause for the return. The user must clearly label the package with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #). CHAUVET will refuse any product returned without an RMA #. DO NOT write the RMA # directly on the box. Instead, write it on a properly affixed label. Once you are given an RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of paper inside the box: Your name Your address Your phone number The RMA # A brief description of the symptoms Be sure to pack the fixture properly. Any shipping damage resulting from inadequate packaging will be the customer s responsibility. As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe method to use. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to repair or replace returned product(s).
